A lot of the Arab's problems are problems they've made for themselves. Speaking for the oil-rich countries, an abundance of oil has let these countries depend on oil as the base of their economy, with no need to educate their public and move into the 21st century. These nations can be wealthy without doing any work to get there. This has left those in charge of the country becoming wealthy, while the average arab gets enough to get by handed to him from his government. Eventually problems arise, as you can see.
